There were few of the officers in towr

FROM SWAY OFF"
Colonel John NJ. Hall of Carson City
New, is in the city. He was formerly G
member of McCullough's famous scouts
and has not lost much of his youthful vim
and energy. He is q brother to Van Hall,
United States marshal of Waco, well
known throughout Texas. In addition to
being Mexican war veteran, Colonel Hall
is representative of Hubert Howe Ban
croft's History of the Pacific States. His
address after leaving here will be Waco.
MAJORsA. NJ. KENADAY.
Prominent among the arrivals of the
Mexican war veterans was Major a. NJ
KenadaY OF Washington City, d. G. Ma
jOr Kenaday holds the responsible posi-
tien OF secretary of the National Associa-
ton OF Mexican War Veterans, and also
editor of the Vedette, the official organ
Of the association. He has done more
perhaps to further the claims Of the
Mexican war veterans before Congress,
than any other man living, and his efforts
have been crowned with abundant sue
cess. He is still hale and hea ty, and
while time has left an indelible i'm
press upon him, he is good for
several years to come. He is somewhat
younger-lOoking than our esteemed fel-
low citizen. Colonel Jesse J. Melton, and
in the matter of good looks the motto of
each is, ono compromise Each claims
the best OF it, and only jury of Yousg
ladies under eighteen can decide.
FROM WACO.
Esquire +. FL. Smith OF this city re-
ceived telegram from Colonel James II.
Torbitt that he and Captain Ross, the
venerable father of our excellent Cover
nor, would start from Waco last evening
and reach Fort Worth during the night.
These gentlemen will be taken care of ct
the residence of Colonel ] P. Smith.
This story was not intended for the
public, but still the people must have it.
HE WAS AFRAID.
Major W. E. Estes of Texirkana, &
visiting veteran of the celebration, of TIE
First Mississippi Riffs, Def Davis regi-
menD tells story well and loves his
friends. Knowing that 81 old medical
friend lived in Fort Worth, Msjor E3tes
hunted him up. After being introduced
to the visitors, the Doctor remarked:
"Major, why are you not wearing your
beauuiul badger" With q smile, and
twinkle Of the eye, that always tells on
the Mejor, he replied: "I'n explSin:
visited the Dallas f4lr Saturday
and there WAS q granger who
exhibited g bull, and they gave him d
badge SO much like mine that 1 vas
airaid someone would mistake me for &
bullion heir" Laughter
The secretary's headquarters are st the
Ellis house, where all veterans should
repair and obtain their card and present
their credentials.
BEAUTIFUL FLAG.
In the Ellis house, reposiag against the
wall, is q beautiful banner of silk and
gold upon which is seen in shining let
tiers: "Presented to the Texas Veterans
by the ladies' of Dallas, April 81, 1886"
FLAG PRESENTATION.
The ladies of Fort Worth are preparing
q splendid flag which will be presented to
the veterans at a proper time during the
meeting.
UNFORTUNATE DELAY.
A good many Of the veterans did not re-
ceive notice of reduced fare ia time and
were unable to pay full fare on the rail
roads. This unfortunate delay has pre-
vented many frvm attending.
